Wine, Spirits & Brewing

Harvest Spirits

Chatham Brewing Brewed fresh, brewed local, Chatham Brewing’s fine selection of beers are brewed in the British tradition using the finest hops and malts available. These top-fermented ales are unfiltered, giving them a unique, lively character, and are available at many dining establishments in Columbia County. Custom and signature brews are available for special events and restaurants. Growlers and kegs are available at the brewery located just off Main Street, Chatham, and you can see the process if you stop by most Saturdays.

30 Main St, Ste 2, Chatham, 697-0202, www.chathambrewing.com Harvest Spirits The first distillery in New York to offer tastings and retail sale directly out of the distillery, Harvest Spirits has converted one of the massive cold storage rooms at Golden Harvest Farms into the region’s unique micro-distillery. Harvest Spirits makes alcohol from nature’s most perfect fruit, the apple, with apples grown on-site. Apples are grown, pressed, fermented, distilled and bottled at the same location. Come see how this incredible-tasting vodka, applejack and brandy are made. Open Sat & Sun 12-5pm.

Their Cabernet Franc has been well received by Wine Enthusiast magazine. Tousey Winery is a proud member of the Hudson Berkshire Beverage Trail. Sat & Sun 12-5pm.
